The Morris County Prosecutor's Office and the Morris County Sheriff's Office were joined by the Morris County Board of County Commissioners this week in delivering 100 bullet-proof vests to the Ukrainian American Cultural Center of New Jersey in Whippany, where front-line Ukrainian fighters thanked Morris County via pre-taped video.To get more news about bulletproof tactical helmet, you can visit bulletproofboxs.com official website.
The delivery was made on the occasion of Ukraine's Independence Day, which commemorates the Aug. 24, 1991 Declaration of Independence by Ukraine from the United Socialist Soviet Republic (Russia). That day also marks six months since Russian forces invaded the European nation, triggering a war that continues to kill innocent civilians and wreak havoc across Ukraine.
"We would like to say thanks to Morris County Prosecutor's Office, Morris County Sheriff's Office ... and the people of Morris County for your constant support of Ukraine and your generous donation. Your donations not only provide us with the necessary protection (from) injury, but also assures us we are not alone in this fight for democracy of the entire world," said an unidentified Ukrainian commander in a video statement shared by the UACCNJ.
Roksolana Leshchuk, Chairwoman of the UACCNJ, shared the video during an emotional ceremony at the center, where she and others expressed heart-felt gratitude to the people of Morris County as they also described the day-to-day struggles of the Ukrainian people.
"It was all possible because of you, because people of Morris County - regular Americans - feel our pain. They feel what we are going through. They understand democracy," Leshchuk said. "It's unimaginable. I don't know how to express my gratitude and the gratitude of our center, and the people of Ukraine. It's not enough. I don't have words to tell you how much appreciation we have. This is helping us to live through another day."
Prosecutor Robert Carroll and his staff delivered the bulk of the vests (85), while Sheriff James Gannon's office donated the rest (15). They also donated 2,000 millennium gas masks during a 10 a.m. visit to the UACCNJ center in Whippany that included Morris County Commissioner Director Tayfun Selen, senior staff from the county, prosecutor's office and sheriff's office.
"We have all been touched by the valiant efforts made by the citizens and military of Ukraine in fighting for democratic freedom, not only for their country, but indeed for the free world," Prosecutor Carroll said. "Having received appropriate licensing from federal authorities, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office, with the support of our County Commissioners and leadership, Sheriff James Gannon and our Police Chief's Association, is pleased to announce that we are donating 100 protective bulletproof vests that we hope will help protect the lives of brave Ukrainians from the vicious genocide of the Russian invaders. We all pray for the children, women, men and especially the courageous soldiers defending their homeland and families," during the delivery."
